From short\-term priorities to long\-term ambitions, we provide strategic steering that enables alignment, focus, and impact across the region. Our main pillars are: * Business Steering – Partnering from a commercial perspective with an integrated view of product, markets, and countries strategies, supporting well\-informed decisions and strategic alignment across the region. * Transformation – Embedding our new operating model, Dynamic Shared Ownership (DSO), and accelerating AI adoption to enable faster decision\-making, greater collaboration, and more empowered teams, driving innovation and delivering greater value. * Chief of Staff – Supporting the Latin America leadership team by connecting functions around shared priorities, enabling alignment, and ensuring execution against common business outcomes. **YOUR MISSION:** As a strategic partner to the regional leadership team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping priorities, driving alignment, and accelerating execution across the region. **Position Purpose:** The role operates as a member of the Business Enablement team, focused on strengthening the effectiveness of the Latin America Leadership Team's strategic and business agenda, its collective performance, and its unified voice as the region's leadership, while providing direct support to the President of Crop Science Latin America. The role connects vision, ambition, priorities, perspectives, and decisions across the region's teams, helping a group of strong functional leaders operate as one aligned team: capturing what matters most, shaping it into a coherent and compelling regional narrative, and driving it forward to shared outcomes rather than isolated functional wins.
